You’re here because you want to know what the best settings for PUBG are, right? The short answer is that it depends on your preferences. Do you like great graphics? Then put the graphics settings on high. That’s actually the real best settings for you!

If you want higher FPS, which you probably do because the game is not optimized and you probably can’t get high frames per seconds, then this guide is for you. We have discussed the settings on this guide with the top professional players in the game and want to share our findings with the community.

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) has gained immense popularity since it went into Early Acces on March 23, 2017. The game is far from optimized itself, so you won’t be able to get high FPS (frames per second) even if you have a powerful card. After following this guide, you will definitely get a higher FPS and therefore a smoother gameplay. We made this guide very simple and easy to follow.
